i bought some self striping yarn today (3 skeins). i am planning on making a pair of irish hiking wrist warmers. my question is how do i get the wrist warmers to have the same stripes? do i have to roll the yarns into balls together and cut them off so they start and end with the same colors?

anyhow. i am considering becoming a tattoo artist. i know there are alot of tattoo artists on craftster. i am just wondering what you must do to become one. i am a sophmore in college for fine arts right now. i guess i am just wonderinga- what qualifications must one have to start tattooingb- how hard is it to get a jobc- could i do an apprenticship(sp) while still in school

hi guys. i am a long time knitter and i have been wanting to learn to crochet for a few years. i have tried to learn a few times unsucessfully. tonight i decided i am going to teach myself to crochet! i bought happy hooker (i am a big fan of the knitting versions) and went for it. an hour later i am very frustrated. i am still working on learning the single crochet. i think i have the chain stitch down, but they tell you to stick the hook through both strands of the 'v's' the only problem is that i cant see the v's, mine does not look like the picture in the book, mine has like 3 strands of yarn when theirs has only 2. does anyone know what i am doing wrong? is their a website with video clips of someone crocheting, like knittinghelp.com? i really want to learn to crochet, but i think i may never be able to learn. please help!!!!!!

ok i am going to be knitting a bunch of dishclothes for my kitchen and i want to put peace signs on them, does anyone know of an fair isle chart with a peace sign? also what kind of yarn should i use on a dishcloth. superwash obviously, but what fiber? thanks!

i am getting ready to knit my first pair of socks and i am really suprised how difficult it is to find a good pattern. i am using regia self striping yarn and i need to use circular needles. i am worried the yarn will not stripe if i use the wrong pattern

i just knitting a mini shrug that turned up way too small. i think blocking it might do the trick but it's 50% acrylic 50% wool. do you think it will do anything with that much acrylic or should i take it out and start it over?
